Phys.org / Reversible spin splitting effect achieved in altermagnetic RuO₂ thin films
A research team affiliated with UNIST has made a advancement in controlling spin-based signals within a new magnetic material, paving the way for next-generation electronic devices. Their work demonstrates a method to reversibly ...
Tech Xplore / Washing machine filter captures microfibers as small as 20 micrometers in size
A single laundry load containing synthetic clothing can release thousands of plastic microfibers from nylon, acrylic and polyester materials. Lab testing of an SA-made washing machine filter at Flinders University shows it ...
Phys.org / ALMA observations reveal multiscale fragmentation in massive star formation
Researchers from Yunnan University, the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan have unveiled new insights into the fragmentation mechanisms ...
Phys.org / The dual impact of stellar bars on star formation in galaxy pairs
Professor Woong-bae Zee of the College of Liberal Studies at Sejong University has revealed that a galaxy does not possess only a single evolutionary pathway; instead, depending on the nature of its neighboring galaxy, it ...
Phys.org / Structural findings reveal how distinct GPCR ligands create different levels of activation
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are proteins triggered by ligands (protein-binding chemicals) from outside cells to transmit signals inside the cell. These signals are transmitted primarily through the activation of G ...
Medical Xpress / First comprehensive Great Steppe genomic dataset uncovers unique variants
Researchers from Nazarbayev University's National Laboratory created the first large-scale, high-quality genotyping dataset of healthy Kazakh individuals—a landmark contribution to global population genomics and biomedical ...
Phys.org / The sound of droplets striking water: How cowbirds control two sound sources in the syrinx to create 'liquid notes'
Cowbirds are special among songbirds for the "watery" timbre of their singing, which resembles the sound of falling droplets striking water, a quick burst followed by a fading ripple.
Phys.org / How soil and human antibiotic resistance are connected
A study led by researchers at the Department of Civil Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) has uncovered alarming evidence that soil worldwide is emerging as a significant reservoir and amplifier of high-risk ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists build virtual tissue tools to map how cells talk in disease
Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have developed two powerful computational tools that could transform how researchers study the "conversations" between cells inside the body. The tools, called sCCIgen and QuadST, help ...
Phys.org / An ecosystem never forgets: Extreme heat and drought responses linked to hydrological memory
The low-latitude highlands region of southwestern China experienced two major climate events in recent years: a severe drought in 2009–2010 and an extreme heat wave in 2019. Though both sprang from similar large-scale atmospheric ...
Medical Xpress / Study examines oligodendrocyte dynamics throughout the progression of multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the disruption of nerve signals and various associated neurological symptoms, ranging from vision problems to numbness, weakness, fatigue and cognitive ...
Tech Xplore / Federal judge halts Texas app store age verification law
A federal judge on Tuesday blocked a Texas law that would have required age verification and parental consent for minors downloading mobile apps, ruling the measure likely violates free speech protections.
